Forum server settings changed

by xantia_v6 » 07 May 2024, 19:01 » in Forum News, Announcements and Issues

First post

Due to excessive server loading caused by some badly behaved 'bots' (automated content collectors), I have changed the anti-ddos settings on the site to be much more aggressive.

This has had the desired effect of reducing the server loading from 100% to about 10% (the other 90% was coming from just 8 IP addresses located in China).

There may...

I have been keeping an eye on the server performance, and the every 5 minutes same addresses would flood the forum with requests for a few seconds before getting blocked again.

In the last hour they seem to have got bored and gone away.

These fuel connectors are all too easy to break, if only the part that holds the thing in place is damaged then a strategically placed zip tie or two might well work, make sure that the connector sits squarely onto the stub, it does not need to be pulled too tightly, a few drops of washing up liquid and some hot water will clean up the spillage.

Xantia - pre MOT woes

by Jaf » 21 Apr 2024, 22:15

First post

Whilst checking Fred over I found LHM leaks again. 1 at the rear, possibly the height corrector (changed it for a secondhand one last year), and 1 from from the pipe that goes from LHM tank to pump (couple of years old and made of horrible metal weaved-covered pipe). Shouldn't be too much trouble, except I lent on the coolant 3 way pipe/ pressure...

Odometer display

First post

I'm looking at purchasing a 2010 dispatch van but the mileage history is a bit odd - the seller says that the garage has taken the wrong number to fill in the total mileage. Can the bottom number only display total mileage or can it scroll through different info?
Thanks

Last post

Be aware that after removing the battery it can change to kms instead of miles. It can be changed back in the display settings. Mu Dispatch gad a weird MOT mileage for one year. It was showing kms.

This is very helpful, cheers!

According to Citroëns instructions you don´t need to remove the cover/intake manifold.

Like the last time, the car starts for 1s. And then shuts-off. If i keep it on the starter and press gas it starts up until i release the pedal... Please help. Or...

Have you checked if the immobiliser is recognising the ignition key ? Leave the key in the ignition and open the driver's door, most cars give a warning about the key if recognised.

I have a Citroen C4 Picasso 2017 (5 door) with an Ad-Blue tank.

Iv never had a Ad-Blue car before, and I've not yet had to top up this one. I've not yet had any countdown warnings on the dashboard.

Last post

I don't think that's likely as the dose is so small to be honest and this stuff is widely used on commercial vehicles.

Even totalenergies have a solution (Clearnox) and they state it's tested in collaboration with engine and vehicle manufacturers.

Newbie on this forum as was trying to wade through another one, so firstly thanks for existing.

I have my first Citroen, a 2012 C3 1.4 petrol with Sensor drive Semi Auto box, saved from the scrapyard as IMHO it was worth saving.

It had coolant leak (bad)and very jerky unreliable gear change, so I basically paid scrap money for it, and...

Last post

D'oh!
You should have the later revision of the firmware that allows you to change up and down gears while the gearbox is still in auto , without it dropping out of auto. This is handy if you don't like the way the gearbox is performing on hills and such but you don't want to go back to full manual.
I wish the AL4 had that, it's all-or-nothing!

Citroen C3 1.2i vibration when pulling off

Hi, I have a 2005 C3 1.2 with semi-automatic gearbox and 110,000km. When I start the engine and pull off, there is a vibration for 2/3 seconds which is stronger with cold engine or when on an incline. otherwise the vibration disappears unless the engine is under strain and in low gear. I have been told that it may be the clutch slipping until it...

Last post

Yes, most likely the clutch. The Sensodrive is basically the same as a manual gearbox. So changing the clutch should not cost much more than a manual clutch change.
HOWEVER!!! The clutch actuator will need to be reset before installation. This process is very simple but most mechanics don't know how to do it.
If you can find a mechanic who knows...

Hi, all!

If anyone could advise me on this issue that would be much appreciated. I love this car, but it is trying to bankrupt me right now!

Anyways, my current problem:

I've noticed that my air conditioning only works if I set the fan speed to the highest setting, or the one just below that (8/8 or 7/8). I've got the model with the automatic...

Last post

Can anyone confirm the fault if the blower control module fails? My Aircon has stopped working, gas is fine, no leaks. Does Lexia read a fault if it's the module?
Fan still works at all speeds. Light still illuminates when I push the A/C button.
